The History of Legal vs. Lawful

I wind up talking with and arguing with a lot of lawyers, most of whom are greatly amused (or scandalized) when I tell them that all the laws of mankind derive from religion and that they are all involved in administering a religious belief system.

These are not, for the most part, what you would call "religious" people.
They are, as a group, about as hard-bitten, sophisticated, cynical, power-hungry, and greedy as it is possible for people to be.

They laugh and snort when I tell them this. They nearly always stop and their eyes widen and then they cough or guffaw. Believe me, to a man, none of them have been taught the nature of their profession in any law school in America.

It's like talking to a prostitute who doesn't know that what she is doing is sex. I should be the one that is laughing, but somehow it doesn't strike me as funny. It strikes me as sad, and maybe pathetic.

All these smart, cagey, highly educated, highly paid, highly respected people, and most of them don't have a clue about what they are doing.
Those that are aware that there is a difference between "lawful" and "legal" are rare, and those that do know, don't know the origin of the distinction between the two.

Let's begin by asking ourselves --- does God, the Creator, make any mistakes?

So.... how is it that Ishmael is born before Isaac? Ishmael is the lawful heir of Abraham, the first born of Abraham's bloodline. He was denied his Father's blessing because of a jealous woman.

How is it that Esau is born before Jacob? Esau is the lawful heir of Isaac, the first born of Isaac"s bloodline, not Jacob. He was denied his Father's blessing because of deceit.

I have observed before that there are two gods in the Bible, and one must be careful to discern which one is talking, turn by turn.

So when we hear, "I have hated Esau, and Jacob I have loved." --- we need to stop and think: Jacob is a sneaky, deceptive, lying little rat. Who would love him? Ah, of course, the Father of All Lies is speaking here.

The Great Deceiver loves a deceiver, just as the True God loves an honest man.

So there are the Lawful Heirs by birthright, and there are the Legal Heirs by Blessing --- and what exactly is the nature of this "blessing"? It is a title --- a name.

A legal fiction. A deception. A mask. A person. This is what Jacob inherits as a result of his deception: another deception.

And we all know where this is coming from, right? From the Father of All Lies.

Jacob gets his karmic return. He is deceived by his Father-in-Law, Laban, and given Leah instead of Rachel in marriage. He is deceived into thinking his son, Joseph, is dead.

But what else do we notice?
The Lawful Heirs are the ones taking it in the shorts all the time. It's the thieves, the deceivers, the jealous and dishonest and self-motivated ones who win, win, win, and it is the innocent Lawful Heirs who lose, lose, lose.

Same thing with Jesus. He is the Lawful Heir, but he is denied.
WT......?

Caiphas wins. Sure, it cost him thirty pieces of silver, but he wins.

What is the take-home message here? Bad guys win, good guys are losers, nobody obeys the law----the actual law, so, forgetaboutit?

The True God makes dumb mistakes, lets the Devil win, forgets about and marginalizes those who are wronged?

So it seems, if the Bible is to be believed.
Right up until Jesus is resurrected.

Here, finally, is how the Lawful Heir won.

How does it feel to spend your brief lives in misery and fear, scrabbling after trinkets and gold and titles given by other men?

How does that inheritance compare to the gift of eternal life and health and joy, given by the True God?

It turns out that the Lawful Heirs have a different kind of inheritance, an inheritance on a completely different scale, an inheritance of a completely different nature.

It is, for example, the Lawful Heirs who inherit the Earth: the land and soil. It is no mistake that the Americans claim their Lawful Persons.

Blessed be the peacekeepers and the honest men and women in every country and nation.

Blessed be the Heirs of the Living God.

Blessed be those who hear these words and heed them.

And may the lawyers among us finally learn what their real job is.
